Western Mass Destruction Nuke Madams Back to Last Season

April 26, 2008 - The Pioneer Valley Western Mass Destruction made their way back to the Garden State this weekend to grace the Morristown Rink's sport court with their mowhaked silhouettes.

Early on in the bout, Madam's co-founder and league president Dee Licious finally succumbed to the knee injury that has been her curse since the Madams debut in 2007. Not long after Dee's demise, another Madam's jammer, veteran speed skater, Brutal LEE fell victim to a back injury that could possibly be derby career-ending.

The WMD took a quick lead and continuously punished the Madams throughout the evening, ending the pain with a final score of 122 - 44.

A portion of the proceeds from this bout were donated to the Community Soup Kitchen of Morristown. The Soup Kitchen generally serves between 125 and 275 homeless people and working poor a day; it is possible only through the generosity and caring of our volunteers.

Morristown Madams Over-Power South Jersey High Voltage Hotties

Saturday, March 29, 2008 - The Morristown Madams won their Spring Sting 2008 Season Opener in Morristown this Saturday, starting the season off right with a record of 1 - 0. After being plagued by losses in their inaugural season, including a loss to the Hotties at their Season Finale, the Madams triumphed over the South Jersey High Voltage Hotties 103-81.

The Madams and the Hotties were alternating the 1 point lead every jam until Hotties jammer Mos Deathly found herself in the penalty box, and Madams new comer Mega Menace took the chance to score a record 11 points in one jam. Even with a solid lead in place, the Madams momentum continued through the final whistle.

Despite low penalties and clean play, this grudge-match was plagued with injuries, both minor and major. The ladies kept the Morristown Ambulance Squad extremely busy throughout the night. In the final minutes of the game, Sophia Low-Rent of the Madams took a terrible spill which resulted in a broken ankle and a trip to Morristown Memorial. Just moments later Crash n Dash of the Hotties was also tripped up with a knee injury, luckily she was able to walk off the rink.

A portion of the proceeds from this bout were donated to Eleventh Hour Rescue a volunteer animal rescue organization that saves dogs from death row. For more information on EHR please visit ehrdogs.org.
